Chapter 522 [87] The value of ‘Chen Yu’s girlfriend’ in Venice!
boom!
The hot breath filled the whole room. Chen Yu pushed Liu Yifei onto the bed. As soon as the two of them arrived in the room, it was like a bolt from the blue that struck a chord.

"Take a shower!"

Liu Yifei hit Chen Yu's neck with a flushed face. Chen Yu panted, and finally rubbed some oil on himself before walking into the bathroom reluctantly.

"Huchi~~Huchi~~~"

Liu Yifei sat on the bed with her clothes disheveled, gasping for breath. Looking at Chen Yu who walked into the bathroom, she suddenly burst into laughter, not knowing what she was thinking about. She covered her burning cheeks with her hands and fanned them desperately with her other hand.

This guy is really anxious.

Didn't you say you were exhausted on the way? How come you are so energetic now?!
Why did I agree to share a room with him?

Liu Yifei sighed, held her cheeks with both hands and looked towards the bathroom, her thoughts a little confused.

She didn't know what to do next.

Should she agree to him, or wait a little longer... because she really wasn't ready for the final decision.

Just as she was thinking in such a contradictory way, Chen Yu, wrapped in a bath towel, walked out with his upper body naked. Liu Yifei looked at her boyfriend's tight body that seemed to be chopped by a knife and an axe, and his eight abdominal muscles were clearly moving in rhythm with his breathing.

This iconic figure that exceeds the model's standards makes her eyes shine slightly.

This is the body shape developed through daily self-discipline. Sometimes Liu Yifei is quite envious.

"Why are you looking at me? Go take a shower?"

Chen Yu wiped his head and pouted at Liu Yifei. Liu Yifei blushed, but walked to Chen Yu, touched his abdominal muscles with a sweet smile, and then after feeling the clear touch, she rushed into the bathroom.

She was afraid that Chen Yu would catch up and eat her, but in fact, Chen Yu wiped his head and didn't react at all.

By the time I came to my senses, the person had already hidden in the bathroom.

"You think you'll be fine in there?"

When Chen Yu walked in, Liu Yifei, who was taking off her clothes, screamed, "You...you don't want to come over here?"

"You provoked me first!"

"You have a nice figure, give me a touch!"

Liu Yifei chuckled, and Chen Yu did not shy away from making amends: "Then let me touch you twice!"

"No~~Don't~~"

"Get out now, I need to take a shower!"

Liu Yifei pushed Chen Yu out of the bathroom without saying anything. Chen Yu said unwillingly, "Let's wash together. I'll wash it again!"

Why didn’t you think of taking a bath together just now?
Failed!

Just take a shower early so you can get to work.

Chen Yu was thinking with some regret, lying on the bed in a cross shape, almost falling asleep, when Liu Yifei, who was wrapped tightly, came out of the bathroom; Chen Yu patted the bed and said, "My beloved, it's time to sleep with you!"

"My beloved concubine is not feeling well today. Can you wait until I have a good sleep before coming?"

Liu Yifei giggled and lay down next to Chen Yu. Seeing how anxious he was, she couldn't pretend anymore: "Really, honey, let's go to sleep. I haven't slept well all the way..."

Seeing her pleading look, Chen Yu said directly: "Are you sure this is not a delaying policy?"

"No, absolutely not, I swear!"

Liu Yifei held up two fingers and said, "I came out with you alone, so you must be willing!"

"It's just... I was a little panicked, and I didn't sleep well, so I was even more panicked!"

After Liu Yifei finished speaking, she jumped onto the bed, leaned in Chen Yu's arms and drew circles. After hugging him a little embarrassedly, she leaned against his chest and said softly, "Give me some time, okay?"

"And... moreover, all the reporters in China know that I am walking the red carpet with you. What if I can't attend?"

Liu Yifei had a lot of thoughts on the plane all night.

Chen Yu was a little puzzled and asked, "Why can't you attend?"

"I'm afraid...I'm afraid you'll be too strong!"

"After all, I've been holding it in for so long!"

Liu Yifei whispered in Chen Yu's ear, and Chen Yu laughed: "Don't worry, I will be gentle with you!"

"That won't work either!"

"I'm afraid I won't be able to walk. If I have to limp on the red carpet, I'd rather not walk!"

After thinking about it, the picture was so beautiful that Chen Yu began to understand a little.

"So what do we do now?"

"Also, you won't have that period these days, right?"

Chen Yu suddenly thought of a possibility. Liu Yifei also raised her head and glanced at her phone. She turned her head and looked at him: "How...how did you guess so accurately?"

Did this guy put a detector on me?
Chen Yu asked without giving up: "Is it really these few days?"

"Ok!"

"Then I have to hurry!"

Chen Yu said this and just forced himself on her without any nonsense; the two of them tumbled and rolled over, Liu Yifei resisted with all her might, but in the end she was defeated by the final blow.

When Chen Yu woke up the next day, his whole body was numb.

Damn it, I was really a jinx. Liu Yifei is having her period.

Watching her dressing herself up, Chen Yu was extremely depressed and asked, "Are you doing this on purpose?"

"Don't worry, the film festival lasts for more than ten days, I'll be done in a week!"

Liu Yifei smiled faintly and blew Chen Yu a gentle kiss. This period came just in time. It eased her nervousness a lot and gave her another week's buffer.

After a week of preparation, Liu Yifei felt that it was almost done.

"I promise you that I will fulfill your wish during the film festival. Otherwise... otherwise we won't go back and stay here forever, okay?"

Liu Yifei put her arms around Chen Yu's neck and rode on him acting coquettishly.

“I feel like it’s too hard!”

"The saddest man in the world..."

Chen Yu said bitterly, Liu Yifei was entangled with him like a water snake: "How could it be, you have a woman as beloved as me, how could you be so miserable?"

The voice was so delicate, and it was all clamped.

"Haha, it's better not to have——"

"What did you say?!!"

Liu Yifei widened her beautiful eyes, stretched out her hand and pinched Chen Yu's ear, threatening: "I allow you to reorganize what you just wanted to say!"

"What I said was not right. You can't eat it, but you seduce me every day!"

Chen Yu patted her perky butt a few times, and it felt really good.

"Humph!"

Liu Yifei got off the bed, turned around and snorted again; Chen Yu ignored her and put on her clothes; although today was not the opening of the Venice Film Festival and there was no need to walk the red carpet, she had to take Liu Yifei to meet the crew of "Departures", including the director and the leading actor.

Hirosue Ryoko Chen Yu had already confirmed it when he got off the plane. She also stayed in the same hotel as him yesterday. "Okay, don't be angry!"

"Is it okay if I'm wrong? I didn't know it was today!"

“I haven’t calculated this before…”

Liu Yifei suddenly walked up to Chen Yu and helped her fix her tie, which was quite difficult for her. The more she helped, the more confused she became. Chen Yu finally gave in: "Okay, I'll do it myself!"

"So... have you forgiven me?"

Liu Yifei tilted her head, stood on tiptoe and kissed Chen Yu, then began to help him fasten his belt, which she knew how to do.

Chen Yu was so attentive that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Okay, okay, I forgive you, but if you change your mind again——"

"Whatever you want!"

"A whip or a candle will do!"

You little guy, you know a lot and you really have fun!

After Chen Yu spent a few minutes with her, the two of them dressed neatly and walked out of the room.

The main people, including Yojiro Takita and Ryoko Hirosue, were already waiting downstairs. They had lunch together and discussed the schedule for Venice.

Looking at Chen Yu and Liu Yifei walking together, Yojiro Takita didn't think there was anything wrong. However, Hirosue Ryoko, who looked very elegant in a plain white dress, had a slight change in her eyes.

Masahiro Motoki also smiled at Liu Yifei.

"Let me introduce my love, Liu Yifei!"

Chen Yu said to the three people, and Takita Yojiro laughed and said, "In fact, we all know each other. Miss Yifei is very famous in Japan!"

"Yes, Yu-kun, the movie Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils he filmed with you was very popular in Japan, right, Ryoko?"

Motoki Masahiro looked at Hirosue Ryoko, who hummed, but took the initiative to wave at Liu Yifei: "Yifei-chan, hello, I'm Hirosue Ryoko!"

"Hello, thank you for taking care of Chen Yu!"

On the scene, Liu Yifei was not picky at all. She nodded slightly to the three people in a very friendly manner. Chen Yu next to her was responsible for translating. In this life, Liu Yifei did not sign a contract with Sony, nor did she release any records, and of course she had not learned Japanese.

"Then let's go and talk while we eat. I've asked someone to book a table at the restaurant next door!"

Chen Yu greeted a few people, and Liu Yifei took his arm, and they walked towards an Italian restaurant next door.

"Hirosu Ryoko is much prettier than in the photo!"

Liu Yifei whispered in Chen Yu's ear, and Chen Yu said casually: "I don't feel anything. No matter how beautiful she is, she is not as good as you!"

"How could that be? She's very popular in Asia. I'm still a little far away from her..."

Liu Yifei sighed a little, and Chen Yu said unhappily: "She is so much older than you, and you are only 18. When you are that old, you will definitely be the most famous Chinese female star in Hollywood, not to mention Asia!"

"That's not necessarily the case!"

Liu Yifei was really unsure, but when Chen Yu said he was the most famous Chinese movie star, she believed him.

"Are you underestimating the value of these five words 'Chen Yu's girlfriend'?"

"You were tied to me the day we made it official, otherwise why would I bring you to Venice?"

Chen Yu’s words made Liu Yifei stunned, as if... it was indeed the case.

She hasn't really started to put herself into the role of Chen Yu's girlfriend, mainly because she doesn't quite like this title, but for the time being, she probably can't get rid of it; after all, her fame and resume can't be compared with Chen Yu at all.

But when it comes to walking the red carpet together or making appearances together, she is not at all opposed to it, because she knows that she doesn't actually want anything from Chen Yu. He has always been helping her, and Liu Yifei knows that too.

I just feel that the gap between me and Chen Yu seems to be getting bigger and bigger.

This is a kind of pressure, so Liu Yifei really wants to act in a drama to prove herself.

At least, she shouldn't let the outside world think that she is just a vase.

Five people sat in a private room in the restaurant. Liu Yifei didn't feel that there was anything between Hirosue Ryoko and Chen Yu. The two of them didn't talk much, and Hirosue Ryoko was also a little silent. Instead, Liu Yifei felt that, could it be that she has fallen in love with my boyfriend?
It is said that women's intuition is sometimes very sharp. Chen Yu had no embarrassment towards her at all and acted with a clear conscience.

But Hirosue Ryoko seemed very reserved.

"Yusang, the Venice organizing committee has set three dates for our premiere. Which one do you think is better?"

Yojiro Takita wiped his mouth and suddenly took out a list.

Chen Yu leaned over and found that the three time points were not consistent; although the nominated films, especially the ones starring him, no longer had to worry about being full or not, they would definitely be sold out in advance.

But of course, the premiere time is better in the evening.

Because it will be much more lively and people will discuss after watching the show; unlike during the day, when people may be rushing to watch the next show and there won’t be enough time for the corresponding diffusion effect.

At a film festival, if a movie is a big hit, that’s actually a plus.

The jury will certainly take your impact into account.

Just like the later "Joker", before Venice even started, everyone had already predicted that it would definitely win the Golden Lion this year.

Because it is so popular and everyone outside is optimistic about it, you, as a judge, can vote for other films, but following the will of the people is also a way of voting to win favor.

"The first night!"

"The sooner the better!"

Chen Yu talked to Yojiro Takita, and Yojiro Takita nodded. In fact, he thought so too.

On the evening of the first day of the opening ceremony, "The Undertaker" premiered.

By then, after a few days of fermentation, the quality of the film, word of mouth, etc., everyone will be able to tell whether the film has the potential to win an award.

“As for the booth, the organizer also gave us a good location!”

"Right next to Brokeback Mountain, your Chinese movies Everlasting Regret and If Love Are All Together!"

"Okay, if I have nothing to do then, I'll come to the booth and take a look!"

Because "Departures" was invested by Chen Yu, he was also the producer, but Chen Yu was definitely not free. Yuxin Pictures actually sent corresponding representatives, but they did not come with Chen Yu.

When discussing matters such as distribution, it is better to find someone you know.

Chen Yu actually doesn’t take this matter too seriously now, because CAA can sell on his behalf and take the corresponding commission; he now knows several Hollywood distributors, so he doesn’t take this matter to heart.

The final award ceremony is the most important. Whether or not you can win the Golden Lion is crucial to the final selling price.

However, Chen Yu is very confident about "Departures" because he has already seen the feature film. To be honest, he personally feels that it is better than the previous one, more delicate and smooth; his acting skills are also a plus, and he is very professional.

He also participated in the entire post-production process, including recording, editing and the final film.

So this time, he is very optimistic that "Departures" can win the award.

Lunch lasted more than an hour. After agreeing on the schedule for Venice, Chen Yu asked Yojiro Takita and others to go back to the hotel first, while he took Liu Yifei to the beach, as if to revisit the old place.

Two years ago, Liu Yifei had a very memorable surprise birthday here.

Now, she also wanted to relive the warm scene of that day here in the evening; Chen Yu would certainly not refuse.

As night falls, accompanied by the waves and the lively cheers all around, many foreigners are singing and dancing, including many stars, and some are having a bonfire party.

But Chen Yu was holding Liu Yifei, and the two of them were leaning on beach chairs, enjoying the rare tranquility before the arrival of Venice.
